Bye bye turbo craft bots!

[TheVedis]

No offense, but it makes perfect sense that someone who has no vested interest in crafting at all would think it's ok to make a crafter forcibly stand after every ten synths. I mean unless you have some mid level crafter character that's put in a lot of time crafting but isn't maxed yet. Then your opinion is just weird.

That's like saying it's ok for SE to make you click a pop up captcha every ten mob kills. Do you think that's ok too? I mean after all, there are bots out there that grind on mobs too.

Personally, I think something that extreme in any form is quite ridiculous and I have confidence SE has not been that rash. They are trying to make their game more appealing, not annoying.

having to do 2 extra keystrokes after youve done every 1000 or so isnt really annoying, its moreso just like getting a popup asking if you are still there.(one that cant be exited with another stroke of the enter key)

I've got no problem with the function. The idea that it would be perfectly acceptable for it to be at a high frequency is what I have a problem with. 1000 clicks is hardly 10 synths. I'm sure we can both agree on that.

oh yeah, 10 synths is moreso about 100-150 clicks or so tops(each synth takes 4 clicks just to get the recipe started and minimum 6 clicks per synth, probly closer to 8-10 though)

i think we may see it as low as 10 synths, but id see it more reasonable around the 30 mark or so, which would be closer to the 400-500 mark which isnt as bad


yes hasty hands crafters will see this more often, but you know what, they are already going fast, and they definately will see it the moment it happens so its not like they cant get rigfht back down and do it again

itl for sure annoy the turbo crafters and botters, while the rest of us who are legit will notice it and compensate immediately as if nothing happened at all(we are already patient crafters to have gone this far for the most part, whats a few more seconds now and then)

I'd be ok with closer to 30 since that's almost near to an hours worth of synthing without hasty hand.

half an hour actualy.....which is still a good chunk of time

an hour would be if you were going for hqs and bolding alot(which is another story)

Or you just really like using the abilities instead of just spamming standard :P

that falls in lines with bold spamming instead too cuz your being really careful and trying not to fail. yeah i guess people trying to level on recipes much higher then them would fall under this catagory too

1000 synths is like what...18-20 hours of pressing enter straight? I think we can assume it's not going to be that high, and if they were SOMEWHAT smart they'd make it a random number between two values so you can't properly time it with a turbo controller.

18-20 hours easily, a standard spammer averages 1 per minute, sometimes slightly less, so you end up between 50-60 a minute depending on your success rate with individual standards

and i wasnt talking every 1000 synths, i was talking 1000 keystrokes(which equats to too many synths in itself still, itd take at least 80-100 synths) which is still quite a while, your looking at well over an hour of possible botting.

No, sadly. You can easily get upwards of 1000 enter presses in less than 2 hours.
